As a person of the self-loading persuasion, I'd like to share a vaguely similar experience I had quite some time ago. My flight into Boston was technically too late to make the onward connection to Europe. But I was a very frequent flyer indeed, and I mentioned my baggage didn't need to make the connection if that would help, so when we landed at Boston I was surrounded by this elite bodyguard-like group of rapid response staff with clearly way too much coffee inside them, who grabbed me, my carry-on and boarding card, rushed me from one gate to the other, did a baton-like handover at the next gate, where Team 2 rushed me on board, stuffed my gear in the overhead bins and made me sit. Unfortunately, I was now en route to MSP.
